Often people in bondage live in a state of denial about their situation. Some of us look free, but we are not truly free. The story of Lazarus illustrates this idea. When Jesus called Lazarus out of the grave, Lazarus had to be loosed from burial wrappings. He was alive but still bound. Lazarus was bound because he had died. We are bound because of things in our lives. Pride, hate, jealousy, and b...

We all have stories and testimonies, but faith is sometimes challenging to maintain in a difficult situation. Every man is given a measure of faith. Some have more; some have less. The heroes of the faith we read about in Hebrews are heroes simply because they stuck with their faith. We would not even know their name if Abraham, Noah, or Moses had not maintained their faith. Noah took everything t...

Ecclesiastes proclaims that finishing is better than beginning. Finishing a project is very satisfying. However, to finish, we must begin so that we can maintain what we stated. The Bible says that God rejoices to see the work begin, and so should we. Because if we begin the work, God will finish it. God wants to complete the work and not leave it unfinished. We have not come as far as we have to,...

We live in a world that devalues and diminishes the role of men. Our text describes men who came to help David during a difficult time. These men came to David in his wilderness stronghold. All that came were remarkable men of valor. These eleven men left the comfort of their homes to rally around David when he was regarded as an outcast. We must recognize that God brings men into our lives to ser...

Some feel they have made it, but most of us are a work in progress. We are all on a journey. Our text tells us God’s work in us continues until the day of Jesus Christ. That means that none of us are complete. Our text speaks about planning for a construction project. When someone builds something, they must first consider the cost and if they have the means to complete it. We look around at busin...

Things happen in life that seem not to have any bearing on our journey. But there is a reason that the rain falls and the sun shines. Many things in life do not make sense to us. All of us have asked, why did that have to happen? Our humanity wants to know why. In our text, the children of Israel find themselves between promise and fulfillment. They have wandered for 40 years, and God wanted them...

In 1973, world-renowned psychiatrist Karl Menninger predicted that the word sin would disappear from the human vocabulary and be replaced by syndrome or social dysfunction, or other words that removed the accountability of the individual for behaviors, choices, or conduct. Everyone would be innocent because they were a victim of something. Here fifty years later, we see that he may have been right...

The new testament writers often closed the chapters by summarizing the practical points of their writing. Our text today does this by relating to the Old Testimate Palm. When he states, “I will not fear what man can do to me,” it reminds us that God is with us. Whatever life is doing, we cannot let it take away the joy of our salvation. With this perspective, we can weather life’s valleys with the...

Whatever IT is, you are well able to overcome it. Trouble will come into all lives. It might be an enemy, it might be a friend, and often it is our own thinking that is against us. We all have an IT that we must overcome to enter the promised land. Our text is the report of the spies sent to scout the land God had promised. They returned with a report confirming that the land was all God had said...
